4 Simple Ways to Stay Rooted in God's Word When Life Is Too Busy (No Extra Time Needed)

Struggling to stay in the Bible as a busy working mom? You're juggling work deadlines, kids' schedules, meals, laundry, and that endless mental load... and your quiet time often gets pushed aside. The guilt creeps in: "I should be reading the Word more," but the day feels impossible.

Friend, God isn't keeping score—He's inviting you into His presence right in the middle of the chaos. In this encouraging episode, I share 4 simple, grace-filled ways to stay rooted in Scripture without adding more to your plate—no complicated routines, no guilt, just real nourishment for your soul.

These practical shifts fit your real life as a Christian working mom, helping combat overwhelm, mom guilt, and spiritual dryness. Rooted in verses like Isaiah 26:3, Matthew 11:28, and 2 Corinthians 12:9, you'll walk away reminded that one intentional encounter with God's Word is enough when it's fueled by His grace.

Perfect for back-to-school busyness, heavy seasons, or anytime you feel "too busy for God."

Key Takeaways for Busy Christian Moms - You're not failing if devotions aren't long—small, consistent doses nourish deeply. - Micro-moments of whispered verses in transitions build roots over time. - Audio Scripture lets the Word come to you during laundry, commutes, or carpool. - Habit stacking ties God's Word to what you already do—no new "to-dos." - Release guilt: His grace is sufficient, and faithfulness > perfection.

How You Can Stay Close to God in Busy Seasons (Without Adding More to Your Plate)

Do you ever feel like your life is so full that your faith is getting pushed to the side? As a busy working mom, it’s easy to believe that staying close to God requires more time, more quiet, and more consistency than you actually have.

In today’s episode, I’m encouraging you with this truth: you can stay close to God in busy seasons — even when your schedule feels overwhelming and your days are packed. Spiritual growth doesn’t have to depend on perfect routines or long devotional time. Instead, faith can take root through simple, sustainable rhythms that fit into your real life.

You’ll learn how to connect with God throughout your day through small, meaningful moments—without adding more to your plate or feeling like you’re falling behind spiritually.

If you’ve been craving peace, encouragement, and a more grace-filled approach to growing in faith as a working mom, this episode is for you.

• Why faith doesn’t require an “ideal schedule” to grow

• How to release all-or-nothing thinking about spiritual growth

• Simple daily rhythms that help you stay close to God in busy seasons

• How to invite God into transitions throughout your day

• Why small, faithful moments matter more than spiritual perfection

• Encouragement for overwhelmed working moms who want to grow in faith

• A whispered prayer during carpool or before walking into work

• Returning to the same Bible verse when stress rises

• A quick surrender moment: “Lord, I need Your wisdom right now”

• Inviting God into transitions (work → home, errands → family time)

• Letting go of comparison and embracing your season

God is not waiting for you to get it all together before He meets with you. He is present with you in the ordinary moments, the rushed moments, and the in-between spaces. You don’t need more time to grow in faith—you just need small moments of turning your heart toward Him.

If you want help creating sustainable rhythms, priorities, and boundaries as a working mom, check out my self-led course Faithfully Balanced. It’s designed to help you live with more peace, clarity, and confidence—without burnout.
